What: Carlton vs *
When: June 11th 7:15pm
Where: MCG
Why: To get our season back on track!
Last time they met: CARL 12.8 (80) def * 7.12 (54). Harry boots 3 in a scrappy event that ruins their 150th year celebrations
At the start of the year, we would've all been licking our lips at this game...
... what would it be?
First thing I'd do is get rid of the umpire mics. Why do we need to hear them? If I hear "STAAAND" one more time... well... I'm just gonna go sit down!

Whether it be in self defence, defending others or you just like to cause trouble. Have you ever been in a physical fight? What were the reasons? How did it finish? Did it escalate into something worse?
I tend to avoid trouble whenever possible, but I've only been in a fight two times. One was...
Ever had a taste of this before?
I went to a shop selling a pretty big American and UK confectionery a few years back, thought what harm would it be to try an original Hershey's milk chocolate bar. Oh god... I can still the remember the taste of this vile stuff. It tasted like literal vomit...
Anyone own exotic or unusual pets, like snakes, turtles, rats, ferrets, etc?
I had a bearded dragon, a couple of rats, three ferrets and at one point turtle-sitted when my brother went overseas.
I'd love to own a fox, I hear they've got personality like dogs but move around more like a feline...
I remember this being a feature, where you were able click on the number of posts in a thread, and there was a list of who posted in the thread with the number of posts next to their name.
Will this feature be added back at some point?
... from your club to play in today's game. Suppose you had a time machine and you could convince one past player from your own club to come with you. Here are the conditions:
- There are no nasty time paradoxes.
- The player will have one a full modern pre-season under their belt with all of...
Post your condolences here (to whoever pick #1 is gonna be).
But it's funny how the universe works sometimes with numbers. What can we do with #5?
James Hird: #5
*Essendon's 2016 spoon: #5
I keep on seeing people whine and moan about how the umpires keep on giving them a free ride, how they don't deserve to be where they are, etc.
Assuming your team will not make the big dance, are there any here who actually want to see them win it this year? I can understand how people can...
Very prolific and seemingly everywhere, but just doesn't have the presence to make a huge impact compared to others on his tier. Cannot blow the froth off a cappuccino.
Self explanatory.
Essendon have now reached a level no VFL/AFL club has ever been before. They are now the first and only club in VFL/AFL history with a criminal conviction. And unlike individuals, it cannot go away. It is there forever.
So congrats Essendon, you've managed to do what we couldn't do throughout...
Just imagine if the AFL Tribunal's decision was left as it was, it would have had massive ramifications for world sport. David Howman, chairman of WADA, said as much in his 3AW interview.
Faced with the CAS decision, the AFL Tribunal has been an international embarrassment in anti-doping. Did...
Just wondering, did the verdict come off as a surprise to you?
There were a lot of lingering doubts, the general feeling of not guilty. I predicted 6-12 months, with some backdating for delays and time already served. Don't think I saw too many full bans.
The CAS were never going to find them...

I'm going to throw it out here. I am of the opinion that Watson isn't really injured, he is either:
a) Taking a voluntary suspension in case CAS finds the players guilty.
b) Protesting Hird's position as coach and is clearly sick of him.
c) Mentally fried, cannot take it any more.
Now, let...
McDevitt has taught WADA the speccie well, it appears. His trip to WADA HQ was not for nothing after all. :D
WADA statement
This is hilarious after hearing the excuses why WADA wouldn't appeal that has been going on for weeks:
- WADA don't have enough finances to appeal a case of this...
WADA has decided to take the case to the CAS.
Weren't we told by many that ASADA didn't have much, would be slapped by WADA, that WADA didn't have any money to pursue the case, that WADA won't bother because they don't care about some backwater local sport, etc? Well then... it's now going to...
Anyone played this yet? Classic RPG game, similar to the BG series. Am a few hours in it and am liking the story, my main is a priest and have a fighter to tank, a druid for aoe damage/debuffs, a barbarian for single/aoe damage, and a cipher for ranged damage/cc. Playing on hard atm but will...
